Loved the story telling, the experience, the sound effects and not only that, the gospel message!
I thought the show was incredibly created, emotional and lively. The only downfall is the push for Compassion enrollment. It didn't sit well with me and many others in the audience.
So moving. The acrobatics were amazing. The narrator character was hilarious.
Loved the action. Loved the performers Loved the main character (John) telling the Story Loved the main character (Jesus) wwho is the Story Highly recommending The Thorn
Wow! The Thorn live theater musical was visually stunning and captivating—what an unforgettable evening! Told from John the Apostle’s perspective, the storytelling was powerful and deeply moving. The breathtaking special effects were absolutely spectacular. From aerial stunts and martial arts to dramatic lighting and pyrotechnics, every scene is crafted to immerse the audience in the spiritual and emotional weight of the story. From start to finish, it was a visual and spiritual experience that left me inspired. Highly recommend if you get the chance to see it!
We loved the Thorn!! It was wonderfully done. All the performers were on point and did an incredible job. Wasn’t a fan of the venue but the show was incredible.
I was in the orchestra 3rd row from the very centre and I was disappointed about the sound system in Meridian Hall because I can't hear clearly what people in the stage are saying (talking live via microphone during the break talk and the narration of the play). The vocal sound is not clear and I am not sure if this is just a technical issue on my area. In the main play, there are so many scenes where the character of "John"is narrating but this makes is a bit boring because of lengthy narration (and sound issue), although the delivery is great but it's just mostly lengthy. For the rest of the parts - they are so amazing and great, visually stunning and moving - especially the parts of the passion to resurrection.
Wonderful show! Very emotional Great venue, great staff and great location.
This was incredible! I cried - as vivid as the crucifixion was in this performance, it made me realize how much worse it was - how Jesus suffered for us. It also opened my eyes as to how real and how much satan is roaming around like a roaring lion. We need to have the armour of God on at all times.
Great except for intermission should have been done outside the performance only.
The experience watching "Thorn"was absolutely AmaZing! Meridian Hall seating needs improvement, very close seating and no leg room, cannot stretch out your legs even a little.
Overall I loved The Thorn production. Beautiful story, wonderful production experience , especially the dancing, but my favourite was the narration by John the apostle. However, I did find the volume somewhat too loud and the strobe lighting irritating for my eyes. So I give it a four out of five. Totally worth going to see again. I was also very happy to see so many Christians in the audience. . God’s message was very clearly expressed.
Amazing experience, phenomenal performance, true to the Bible, blown away! Wish I got front row seats!
Moving, emotional and humorous in turns. Really well done overall. Amazing dancing, creative lighting and great costumes.
It was so well done. The lighting, sound and character performances were spectacular. Apostle John and the humour he brought to the show brought tears of joy and laughter. A perfect and touching performance by all. I didn’t want it to end!!!
A MUST SEE!!!! Sooo powerful ❤️ will def go again when they come back to Canada
Never had so many emotions going on during a performance. The acting and entire show moved us the entire time, I actually cried the whole second set. So nice to see shows where we can Praise the Lord and just feel good about life. Thank you for bringing this show to Canada. Wish you had done more stops. Bless you all and Praise the Lord
Great show. Emotional and uplifting! Would recommend to others who enjoy live performances.
The lighting and effects are just superb! I would have preferred a little less narrating from "John"and a little more of the scenes he waa explaining, but aside from this an absolute honour and gem of a play!
This production was so much more than I expected it to be. There was humor, sadness, laughter, many tears, and such a great untold story. The narrator who played John the Baptist kept your attention through the whole show. The crucifixion was the saddest thing ever. I have recommended this to anybody who gets an opportunity to go see the show that they would thoroughly enjoy. I would see it again.
